Mind as a sense generating vehicle

Abstract

Sense” is treated here not as a meaning-value of something which, as we say, “makes sense” for us, but rather as a constituent of any such “some-thing”. Perception of “external reality” is impossible without apprehension of “things” which, however, are constructed by our consciousness and not “reflected” in it. This approach does not reduce consciousness to any external independent reality but argues that its basics should and can be discovered in itself. The striking parallel between sense perception which structures the scattered plurality of perceptions around “things”, and the deep structure of our thought which is based on subject-predicate link, is further explored.
